The 2024 UK Autumn Budget makes measured progress toward solving the country’s productivity puzzle, with targeted investments in workforce skills and infrastructure. Yet, real productivity gains require more than funding allocations alone. As PA Consulting's CEO Christian Norris argues, sustainable productivity growth depends on a shift towards collaborative approaches that span the public and private sectors, underpinned by digital innovation and regional coordination. This involves centring productivity growth at the heart of the government agenda. To an extent, the budget’s initiatives show early alignment with this. By anchoring productivity objectives within policy frameworks and development plans, the UK has an opportunity to not only address immediate economic pressures but also lay the groundwork for long-term growth and resilience.

New! CEP election analysis on Growth and productivity. John Van Reenen and Anna Valero set out how the collapse in productivity growth underlies many of the problems of the UK economy – from squeezed public services to stagnant living standards, new LSE analysis shows. They point out that productivity growth in the UK has been weak relative to its own past and to its international peers, and that improving productivity is the only route to sustainable improvements in overall growth and living standards. The CEP election analysis shows that the UK’s poor productivity performance relative to other countries is mainly due to low capital accumulation against a backdrop of low levels of both public and private investment. One reason for this low investment has been frequent policy changes leading to volatile public investment and an uncertain climate for businesses. Read: https://lnkd.in/eiSbaAfv

2moWhat a relief to see it’s nothing to do with planning regulations, excessive bureaucracy, or record taxation, insufficient savings and investment, poor infrastructure, a rise from 11% to 62% in the share of below graduate level immigration permits, or negative productivity growth in the public sector.
